By Saleh al-Batati

Qatar's Ministry of Transport said that full maritime navigation activities in its territorial waters will resume on Sunday, allowing all types of vessels and marine transport to operate between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. local time, following a recent suspension over the Iran war. Fishing vessels holding valid licenses will be permitted to operate around the clock, in line with previous directives, according to the statement.

The ministry urged operators to comply with safety requirements and ensure all necessary equipment is in place before and during voyages. It also warned against exploiting current conditions to impose unjustified price increases, stressing adherence to maritime laws and consumer protection regulations.
